Speed limits range from 50 to 80 km/h, with a significant 80 km/h stretch along Clarinda Road.

  • Two school zones near Clarinda Road and Elder Street South. Watch for flashing electronic signs indicating 40 km/h.
  • Three roundabouts in the Clarinda area, including one at Bourke Road and Clarinda Road. Signal your intended direction on approach, and indicate left when exiting.
